Any PGL members here have NHL '07 ? I picked it up a couple of days ago and it's great. Only person I know of so far that has it is Mahkila and I am gettig tired of beating up on him. I am looking for some new players. If you have it let me know, If there is enough of you out there maybe we can get a league up also.

Man, if you had said NHL2k7 I woulda gone out and bought it to play with you all. Dang. I haven't played a good Hockey game since my cousin lived out here and we played the heck outta the PS1 hockey game I had!

Peench you have no idea what your missing. NHL '07 is way better then 2K7 plus without all the problems 2k has had in the past few games they made. Last year I bought all 3 of 2K's games NHL, NBA, MLB and they all had issues. NHL and MLB would freeze all the time making it almost impossible to play and after they issued an update for the NBA game that wasn't right either. I have pretty much given up on 2K games until they can get it right. I use to swear by them but now I just swear at them. Anyways I know EA has there problems also but 2K has gone to far of the deep end for me. If you want to play NHL get the NHL'07 game my opinion is that is blows 2K7 out of the water. Mahkila and I love it.

From what I've read nhl 07 is the way to go with hockey games this year. I just have a problem with buying one since the only reason I'd buy one is for online purposes, but if Woundup, Mahkila, and others would play I may pick up nhl 07. It's still kinda hard for me to call.

Ya, 2K7 is teh suck. I played the demo for NHL07 and wasnt too hip on the controls. Bring back the Genesis NHL games!

Grenic · 10-23-2006, 08:36 AM

What is this hockey you speak of???

I have been on the fence about this one, but as usual, peer pressure is causing me to make a decision (usually doesn't take much to sway me in a direction!)

Last hockey game I played was on my SNES... my roomate and I played the entire season, and then I beat him for the cup! Fun times!

Peench · 10-23-2006, 09:55 AM

I played both demos and the controls for 2k7 felt much better than the ones for NHL07. I couldn't do jack squat in 07, while I was scoring like a mad fool in 2k7. Oh well, I guess I'll wait 'til next year!

CamDawg · 10-23-2006, 10:38 AM

I was going to buy 2K7, but I'm holding out as because of the fleecing that game companies are doing to us with next gen games.

Price at Walmart this week: 2K7 for the OG Xbox: $19.99; 2K7 for the 360: $59.99 -- $40 difference. Come on; you can't ell me that the 360 version is three times better than the Xbox version.

Peench · 10-23-2006, 02:28 PM

Hey Camdawg, the 360 version is three times better than the Xbox version.

That's pretty bad. I can see a $10 difference so we get jacked just for being early supporters, but a $40 difference?!? Wow.

Jon Liu · 10-23-2006, 03:43 PM

seriously, I cannot imagine it being that much better... I cannot believe there's a 40 dollar price difference!

OnoMan · 10-23-2006, 08:29 PM

So EA made right with the 360 version of NHL 07?? I guess they had to make up for seriously botching up NCAA and Madden 07!!LOL

Woundup · 10-23-2006, 09:36 PM

Well in my opinion it's good but you know what they say about opinions "they are like assholes everyone has one and they all stink". I personally like it but then again I like Madden also.

Kid Pyrrhic · 10-24-2006, 06:08 AM

I picked up NHL 2k7, mostly because Frys.com had it on sale for $25 during their grand relaunching sale.

OnoMan · 10-25-2006, 04:45 PM

Hmmmm I might have to rent it this weekend!!

Mahkila · 10-26-2006, 01:02 AM

NHL 07 is awsome.

I was shocked and pretty po'ed when I saw the price difference. Here's a link from Walmart.com: Link

I ended up picking up NHL 07 from ebay for $30. I was planning on buying Sega's hockey if I bought any of them, but the $30 seemed like a good deal to me, so I went with EA's.

Woundup · 10-26-2006, 08:39 AM

great Camdawg, maybe we can play sometime.

Peench · 10-26-2006, 11:52 AM

for $30 I'd be tempted to pick it up as well.

Vanphyre · 11-01-2006, 06:57 PM

I have NHL 07, but only played it a couple times. I suck with the new controls so need to practice more. The only problem is FFXII and Marvel UA are on the way and they are going to take my practice time away. hehe.

I'd love to play though as soon as I get the controls down a bit!
